Humiliating video of Lindsey Graham hits the internet, raising questions about his political future
Lindsey Graham being booed for six straight minutes has been making the rounds on social media all week, racking up millions and millions of views in just a few days and raising questions over his political future.The humiliating incident happened at a MAGA rally in the anti-LGBTQ+ senator’s home state of South Carolina over the 4th of July weekend.In the video, Graham is seen trotting up on stage with a dumb smile on his face while his constituents loudly shout and boo and call him a “traitor” to no end.“Thank you all for coming,” he tells the crowd. “Thank you very, very much.
Thank you. Thank you.”The jeers continue throughout Graham’s entire speech, during which he promises to do everything in his power to “help [Trump] become president of the United States.”“I’ve come to like President Trump, and he likes himself,” he says, “and we’ve got that in common.”Watch.6 minutes of Lindsey Graham being booed in his own state, by members of his own party, is better than coffee.
